rainfall. most notably up in the north bay, which squeezed out a lot of the moisture. as you head to oakland and san francisco, it's been more minuscule. as the radar scans right now, here's the good thing. in the east bay, you've had little to nothing tonight. it was great for trick or treating. but you need the rain. up the creek, to san ramon. and it's slow to get across san jose. probably one of the best spots for trick or treaters tonight. we're looking at the showers to slowly approach. not expecting a huge soaking through the morning hours, especially for the south bay. but the roadways will be slick. let's take you to the sky camera network. and there it is. the city looking incredible tonight. the low cloud cover. a lot of parties, for the world series championship, the ticker

tape parade, or halloween. you can see the cars pass by the bay bridge approach. let's get you into the next 48 hours. the front we dealt with and the low pressure that's dragging its feet. it's going to be gone tomorrow. and we see the high pressure set up. it looks like it will be good enough to give us warm to hot weather with temperatures that will be returning up in the 80s. as we head throughout tomorrow, not quite there. we'll have 50s and 60s at the coastline. and 70s at the interior valley. we'll get in on clearing for friday. at 6:00 a.m., we'll have the showers across the peninsula, also for the south bay. and by 2:00 or 3:00 p.m. tomorrow, we'll have sunshine across the bay area. we can't rule out spotty showers across fremont and palo alto and for the south bay. overall, we should be done with the heaviest rainfall. for the morning, we start with 53 in santa rosa. and 50s in the east and the east
